Forza Horizon 5 AFK: The Best Farming Setup Guide

Forza Horizon 5 – Setting Up an AFK Farm Run

AFK farming in Forza Horizon 5 means setting up a run that loops on its own, so you rack up credits, XP, or wheelspins without actively driving — useful for grinding out currency for cars and upgrades in the background while you do something else.

Setting it up:

1. Pick a car with strong straight-line acceleration and a tuning setup suited to the specific route or track you’re farming, rather than an all-round tune.
2. Choose a route where the car can complete a lap largely on its own without needing sharp steering input — long straights with gentle curves work far better than tight technical circuits.
3. Dial the difficulty settings down (steering assist, braking assist) so the car is more likely to correct itself and keep going rather than stall out against a wall.

Keep in mind AFK farming is a widely-used community technique rather than an officially supported feature, so route reliability can vary between game updates — if your usual loop stops working cleanly after a patch, it’s often a sign the physics or AI behaviour on that stretch of road changed slightly, and it’s worth re-testing rather than assuming your setup is broken.
